The canonical list of the Books of the Bible differs among Jews, and Catholic, Protestant, and Greek Orthodox Christians, even though there is a great deal of overlap. Below a table is presented to compare the canons of these denominations (other faiths are not currently included) for both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. A detailed discussion of the differences is found in the article on Biblical canon.

It should be noted that the Greek Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic churches may have minor differences in the list of accepted books. The list given here for these churches is the most broad list of canonical books — that is, if at least one eastern church accepts the book, it is included in the list here. The books included by the Roman Catholic Church are universally included



in the eastern canons.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has a few additional books in its canon: Jubilees, Book of Enoch, the Shepherd of Hermas, 1 Clement, Acts of Paul, and some uniquely Ethiopian books. There is a matter of some controversy as to what constitutes "canon" in this religious body. The Peshitta of the Syriac Orthodox Church excludes 2-3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation. The Armenian Orthodox include Third Epistle to the Corinthians.
